Today, a spider crawled across my arm. After a quick dance in a fit of panic, I managed to scramble onto my bed. I thought I would stand up to see if I could spot the spider and maybe kill it. I was then promptly knocked unconscious by my ceiling fan. FML

You knocked the spider off your arm & then jumped on your bed. I'm assuming that means the spider is on the floor now (or maybe other furniture). How does standing up on a raised surface help you spot a spider on the floor better than sitting on your & looking more closely? Unless you needed to see over other furniture?
